Sponsored by AutoNation, America’s largest auto retailer, the free CarZen iPad app is a superior way for consumers to make sound and well-informed car buying decisions while utilizing the highly visual, interactive and touch-based iPad interface.

Heightening its appeal – and unlike any other iPad app – CarZen has created several breakthroughs, including:

Highly Visual Experience: Gorgeous full screen gallery of every new car on the market with unprecedented 1024×768 resolution image along with seeing every car in any color;

Comprehensive Reviews: Save time searching for reviews – CarZen offers every new car review on the internet for every single car summarized and linked in the same place;

Easy-to-use Configuration Tool: Build and configure the exact car you’re looking for with the exact options you want; and

Get a Quote: Contact local dealers quickly and painlessly to get the best price on a new car.

“iPad owners deserve a better way to research and shop for cars than using web sites that really aren’t made for touch. We created the CarZen iPad app to be highly visual and highly interactive – we want people to touch the cars; to feel the cars, and to share the cars with their friends and family,” said Nick Gidwani, founder and CEO of CarZen. “The app puts the entire world of automotive at your fingertips.”
